October 24 - ROAD TRIP: The 2015 Road Trip to Phoenix, Arizona is set. Please make sure that you let me know how many tickets to the game you will need. I should get ticket prices this month and will put a hold on a block of tickets based on the total numbers I have received. We are working on the T-shirt and group social and will have more info on those soon.Gary

November 17 - Wallops Island Tour: 11/17/15 leaving @8:30 am from behind Duffy's. We have 24 people signed up & that makes a sellout. Thanks to everyone for the prompt responses. We will now start a wait list because there will surely be a few cancelations.

The trip is now firmly booked & because of upfront money requirements, payment of $32 pp will be needed at the July 9th meeting. Pay in cash or check payable to Ron Apperson (not RR#44). Can also mail to Ron @ 37899 Swann Dr. Selbyville, De. 19975. Partial refunds are expected to be made if at least 20 people pay. A refund of $5 pp if it stays a sellout. More details @ meeting.

Current Sign Ups/Seat Assignments: In response order (check your name & seat)

Ravens Poop

The Ravens once again snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, as the defense surrendered a 4th quarter lead twice to the Bengals, losing last Sunday to drop to 0-3. Things will hopefully turn around tomorrow night as the Roethlisberger-less Steelers come to Baltimore tomorrow night, 8;25 pm.

Good daily dose of Ravens news notes and nuggetshere. It’s getting to the point where I can hardly stand ESPN, but I do go Jamison Hensley’s Blog here to stay up to date with all of the AFC North news.
